Background on Pafos FC
Pafos FC is a young club. It was formed in 2014 through the merger of the clubs AEK Kouklia and AEP Paphos. The name is based on the English spelling of the Cypriot city Páfos. Bayern Munich and Pafos FC have never faced each other in their club histories. However, surprises are not ruled out in the competition—underdog Olympiakos Piraeus recently managed a 0-0 draw against a favorite.
